> Transport Secretary Sean Duffy says flights are returning to normal after Friday’s nationwide ground stop, though the precise cause remains unclear. The halt lasted more than four hours and affected over 15,000 flights, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. Duffy blamed outdated technology and said maintenance was underway before the outage; airlines warned the knock-on effects could last days.
